Hands-on Care Needed For My Mother In Marion

About who needs care: My mother J lives in Marion, NC. She has difficulty walking and standing for long periods due damaged cartilage in her knees and a long term ankle injury. She would need assistance with common housekeeping tasks, showers, and light food preparation (sandwiches and such). She is largely inactive during the day due to physical limitations, but has a keen interest in local history, education, and discussing modern day passings. About the care needs: Patience is absolutely key, an active listener who shares interest in the goings on of Western Carolina, or the world in general. Some upper body strength would be helpful. Gentle encouragement for trying to stay active would be helpful as well. Mom, like many seniors, has come to see relatively simple tasks as more difficult or complicated than they really are, though some of that is due to physical limitations. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
